Analysis: New York had until Monday to decide on Johnson, who was due a $500,000 option bonus that would have kicked in if he remained on the roster past then. The 29-year-old player signed last April to provide a versatile presence in the backfield, but he had his worst statistical season while splitting time with Chris Ivory. Johnson ran for 663 yards - his first season under 1,000 - and one touchdown. He caught 24 passes for 151 yards and a score.

Wanda Ford said an officer pulled Johnson over after he ran a stop sign Friday night. When the officer approached Johnson's vehicle, he said he saw a firearm between Johnson's feet. Openly carrying a gun is generally banned in Florida. The Jets signed Johnson to a two-year, $8 million deal last April, but it was uncertain as to whether he would return to New York after having the least-productive year of his career. He rushed for a career-low 663 yards and one TD.

The former 2,000-yard rusher said Thursday during a conference call that his left knee is "getting better and better" every day and says he's "pretty close" after having a torn meniscus repaired after last season.
